An online dictionary describes an opportunist as one who takes advantage of an opportunity to achieve an end, often with no regard for principles or consequences. With that in mind, I don't think we would want to be called an opportunist. It has a negative connotation to it. It's interesting because sometimes we are told to "seize the opportunity" thus making you an opportunist, right? Seizing an opportunity has a positive ring to it. I think... Okay, I'm not trying to argue or start a debate of its definition so no debunking here but I'm going to admit, I was in a situation that I couldn't say no to this "opportunity" and I seized it. Though it happened at an inopportune time (sadly to say), I've taken it and have been running with it for the last few days. Intrigued? Well, it's actually nonsense just like everything that I've posted here on my blog. Haha! It really has something to do with a certain feeling that came with this incident. Right now, I would say it was unforgettable and it was associated with feelings of love, warmth, security, passion and I clearly remember when it happened -- it seemed like the world disappeared around me! At this point, please take your mind out of the gutter. Now, where was I? Oh yes --- this feeling was given by someone who shouldn't really have given it in the first place but the thing is, I allowed it to happen. I didn't see it coming. No one did! This is the opportunity that I've seized and kind of living on in the past few days. It gives me such an enthralling feeling and I know that It will eventually die down because I said so. =) It is what it is, however, it's interesting how you can take an experience and live off of it (at least for a little while) - letting it inspire you and giving you hope that one day, that magical feeling will be reproduced. Have you been on this type of enchanting and bewitching ride? Oh I hope so because I want to read about it. Please comment below and share!
I know I sound very vague but you'll have just have to deal with it. Thanks!
